So about those iLvls

[Necato]

Not really upset, but yeah I'll miss this gear.
I "deleveled" myself to i125 with the new gear for spiritbonding.

Until you got every i133+ pieces you need, Ironworks and Dreadwyrm are still a good filler I guess.

I expected this but I am still a bit shocked that there is already ilvl 190. The jump is too high. See you on ilvl 500 in 2 years.

Usually in MMOs they will do a gear crunch every 2 years to keep bloat down. Basically they lower dungeon difficulty and lower the gear levels to match. What's i936 one day becomes i470 the next.

What is there to be upset about? Are you saying that you wish it lasted longer?

Nope just wanted to see everyone's opinion.

It's just a number to indicate relative power. ilvl could go by 1 per tier and could be huge step if stats granted raised wildly. On other hand, could have ilvl jumping by 100 each tier and only 1 or 2 point stat increase and would be a crawl.

The new Tomes that will be weekly limited will be coming in a month. Poetics will be convertible then. So not really "much later".

Poetic will remain for level 50 gear. Collectable for those who still start with ARR or would want to equip alt jobs and want to enter HW with the highest possible ilevel on lv50 gear.
